> Well…the Dx has navigation also but the biggest difference between the Dx and the Zx is the Zx has a built in hard drive that it rips your audio CD’s onto. You can’t rip MP3 CD’s or DVD’s (I ended up burning 50 CD’s to migrate all of my music over to the hard drive), but you can listen to them. Another difference is 3D landmarks in the navigation. If you go to NYC, you’ll see pictures of the Empire State Building, etc. There are many small differences…where the Dx wins over the Zx and vice versus.

> If I were you and getting the D-series…I’d get a D3 or a F700-BT (F-series has replaced the D-series in June 08). The F-Series is nice, has MSN Direct (gas prices, movies times, etc. right on the screen) but it’s new so it has some bugs.

> As for the sound system, I have some Infinity tweeters…brand new never unpacked…that I could sell you for $40. I decided to keep my OEM because the speakers I put in my car had brilliant highs and I needed more low’s than highs.

I’ve still got a lot of research to do on the HU, it’ll be the last thing I buy, but that’s some good info, thanks
What are the specs on those tweeters? I’m 99% sure I’ll pick those up off of you, then I’d just need to finish out the amps/sub/component deal and I’d be set… other than the HU :lol

As you can see…they are much more than I’m asking…but I haven’t had luck selling them on the Maxima forums so I’m willing to take a hit on them instead of having them sit in my room for a few years. $40 and I’ll meet you at Crossgates or something one sunday afternoon (I go to the church across from Styvesant Plaza from 2pm-4pm or so) and give em to ya.

I’ll tell you what, the court date for my ticket I recently got is October 2nd, I want to see how hard I’m going to be hit with fines and insurance increases before I buy too much soundsystem stuff, so if you can hold on the them for me until like the 2nd week of October, I’ll give you $50 for them.
I think that’s fair, how about you :thumb

Works for me. I’ve had them for like 2 months and none of the Maxima guys wanted them so I don’t expect them to be gone. And if someone asks, I’ll tell them dibs were placed until the middle of October.

Those boxcar graffiti pictures are perfect. The car looks great. I also wish I had a lift in my garage, or just a garage would help. Lol.

Yes I have…might get it. However, I’m more into how the car looks as opposed to how much power it has.

Thanks. I love that rail yard, have used it many times for photoshoots.
I got lucky I have a dad who doesn’t settle for half-assed setups. He used my brothers and I for some hard labor to build it, but it paid off in the end lol.

So I got a variable intake from a 2000 Maxima. Will be updating this thread soon once I get all the little kinks worked out and the engine bay cleaned up.
I also got some other small things done such as short ram intake, blue LED interior, etc.
Will be updating soon, come back in a bit.

I have the blue climate control, light dimmer switch behind the right side of the streering wheel, and gear selector almost done.

Oh I get it…trying to make fun of the fact that I’m auto and not 5spd like you? Shut up…lol.
I’m actually considering going 5spd in the spring…but with the CEL issues I’m having right now after the 00VI swap (maybe it’s just coincidental) I don’t know if I want to… :ohnoes
